I will be looking as well!

thanks, oscar

Oh, thanks.  I was thinking he shipped trees. 

Question:  If many tropical fruits do not come true to seed, why do Sudhu and Oscar sell so many seeds of sought-after varieties?  Confused.

I went to their website today and there were so many amazing tropical fruits.  The only problem is they don't say what ones will grow well in FL.  If you have ordered from them, what did you order and how did it do?

Thanks

macGuyvers. lol

I am new to the garcinias.  Are there any that will grow well in south FL?  What about taste?  Worth growing in my homestead?

So, would this be done in order to induce flowering during off-season?  I could see myself trying the salt, but digging them up and leaving them unexposed is out of the question for me...although it might be necessary if I get an Edward.

Is anyone in Florida growing tamarinds successfully (a decent amount of fruit set)?

Bsbullie, 
1.  Do you have any knowledge or information regarding which of the varieties that excalibur has are the best (or better yet a review of the ones you know/have heard about)?
2.  Is it possible to prune them to keep them small (not so much concerned about the height but want to control the spread laterally.  In other words, I am thinking of planting 2 tamarind varieties in the suicide strip between sidewalk and the street but I don't want them to shade out the entire strip as I have other trees/shrubs in mind for that area as well. 
any info you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Interesting....I didn't think Keitt's were as balanced in terms of flavor, but that's probably b/c the ones I have had were from Puerto Rico or somewhere--i think they were selling them at FTBG mango festival for $1
.  I checked with my neighbor and he claims the tree is only 2.5 years old (which is surprising to me b/c as stated before, it's approx 20 ft tall).  He bought it from a nursery on Griffin rd (I believe it was east of university).  Therefore, I don't believe it's a seedling.  He didn't remember the name of it though.  Just checked PIN website and the Keiit picture has red blush....these have none (just green with slight break to yellow when ready....yellowed up nearly all the way on my counter.  also the site says they are 4-5 lbs but these mangoes, while larger-than-avg (to me), probably weigh 2.5 lbs...maybe 3.  hmmmmm.

Tasted the fruit again today.  It is virtually fiberless and very meaty.  As you can see from the pics, it made firm, yet melting cubes when sliced and inverted.  The taste is balanced, but sweet with citrus and coconut overtones.  The aftertaste is great....I eat these so slowly--not because they're too rich but because they must be savored.   It almost doesn't even seem like food.  Anyway, the seed is thin and the flesh is a medium orange (turned papaya red when cut and put in a fruit salad bowl in the fridge). 

ok.  Thanks.

so if i had to shade one out...not completely, but some, then the glenn would theoretically be able to handle more shade and produce fruit than the lychee?  Since i love lychees and already have mango trees elsewhere, i will definitely find sun for the lychees.

hahaha I'm really glad that both of you got to try the carrie at its flavor peak. You'll talk to a number of people who say that they don't like the carrie, yet I'd be willing to bet that they simply haven't had the carrie at the proper stage of ripeness. The carrie can go from excellent to gross in just a couple of days (although some folks, like my dear wife, enjoy it best at the 'gross' stage :-).Report to moderator                          LoggedJeff  :-)  lol.  My wife and I tried our first carrie from excalibur earlier this summer.  I had heard so many good things.  Boy, were we surprised at how tart the two we tried were.  Not a complex flavor, just tart.  We must've had them too early or something.  Now i have to try one ripe so i can see if i should put it back on the wish list.

I thought i heard that mallika was an offspring of dasheri and Neelam.  Interesting that we have a good amount of Neelam and mallika here in FL but i agrre...haven't heard too much about dasheri.
